Theresa Russell in Ken Russell's Whore,
or Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman?
.

The deck's probably stacked against poor Theresa here since it's a hard movie to track down - hell, I only finally saw Whore yesterday after wanting to for ages and ages. For some reason I'd convinced myself that it and Pretty Woman came out at the same time, which makes no sense and seemed an especially stupid thing to think once I actually watched it - it's obviously riffing mercilessly on PW with its borderline-obscene glorification of prostitution as a dewey-eyed romantic fairy-tale. There's even a conversation about the insane stipulation that she won't kiss on the lips!
And yet, as gross as I know everything about Pretty Woman is... dammit I still totally love it so much. The shopping scene! The evil Beverly Hill saleswomen! "Big mistake. Huge!" "The condom of champions - nothing's gettin' through this sucker." I could go on and on, I have that movie memorized. I just might have a harder time watching it now without hearing "I wouldn't waste my cum on you!" or "It's just a factory - a pussy factory!" echoing in my head too.
